Digital Essex - Digital switchover business webinar
*On Wednesday 17 July from 11.30am to 12.30pm* via online webinar.
The UK's telephone network is changing. By 2027, traditional phone lines will be replaced by a digital landline service. This means that calls will be made over a broadband line.
If your business uses old analogue lines, you will need to switch your existing communications infrastructure to a digital network. This includes everything from your desk phones to your alarm systems and CCTV.
Digital Essex is collaborating with Ambitious Essex and Farrpoint, to help your business to prepare for the move to digital landlines.
This free webinar will provide you with all the guidance and resources you need to be prepared and future-proof your business, whether you're an SME or a large enterprise.
Please register via Eventbrite [
].
